Elastic collision: Overview, Equations & Two-dimensional

In physics, an elastic collision is a collision process between two physical objects in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same before and after the collision. In an ideal, perfectly elastic collision, there is no net conversion of kinetic energy into other forms of energy such as heat, sound, or potential energy.
